I implemented a few services in Go like 5 years ago and they still work. I think some have uptime of 2 years or more. I love that once you get good test coverage, Go programs are extremely stable. I still prefer to do things in Python, but if I need extra stability I go with Go.
- philosopher1234 6y agoI wrote some toy interactive services for my personal website 4 years ago. Put them all on a GCP vm behind screen, and they're still running today. I haven't touched them once. I haven't even logged into GCP in 2+ years.
- dilap 6y agoJust for fun, I went back to the very first thing I implemented in Go, about 8 years ago†. Compiled and ran flawlessly. It is SO nice to not have stuff just break out from underneath you. (Modules wrecked this a little bit; I think it was a mistake to go 1.0 before they worked out a packaging/distribution solution. But what they finally came up w/ looks really nice.) (†my std "kick the tires problem" -- boggle solver + high-score board finder)
